Two-colour photoelectric photometry of UV piscium and fourier analysis of its out-of-eclipse light variations

Two-colour photoelectric light curves of the RS CVn-type eclipsing system UV Psc, obtained in 1985 and 1986, are presented. Present work also deals with the Fourier analysis of the outside-eclipse light variations for five years' light curves (1981, 1982, 1984, 1985, 1986). Based on this analysis, the amplitude variations of the so-called wave-like distortion and its migration period have been investigated. The amplitude of the wave-like distortion seems to vary with a very rough period of 4-5 years, and the migration period of the wave minimum appears to be one of the three different (2.3, 0.7, 0.4 years) but most possible values among some others. © 1988 Kluwer Academic Publishers
